about/
This directory contains files generated by NODC with ancillary information
about the data submission.

0082371_lonlat.txt -
  Contains sample locations for these data.  Each row contains the
  geographical position where these data were collected (longitude in the
  left column and latitude in the right column, both in degrees).

0082371_map.jpg -
  Sample location map for these data.

FGDC-NDBC_CMANWx-2011-11.xml -
  Metadata record for the archived data, in Federal Geographic Data
  Committee (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata
  (FGDC-STD-001-1998) XML format.

dirinfo.txt -
  A text file, which contains the year/month of data collection, to
  facilitate NODC's online dissemination of this data set.

data/0-data/
This directory contains the data information files as NDBC submitted them
to NODC. The file naming conventions for these files are as follows: 

Data from C-MAN and moored buoys (except for ADCP):
NDBC_<WMO ID>_YYYYMM_D<DEPLOYMENT NUMBER>_v<VERSION NUMBER>.nc

ADCP data from moored buoys:
NDBC_<WMO ID>_YYYYMM_D<DEPLOYMENT NUMBER>_adcp_v<VERSION NUMBER>.nc

Information about the processing of the data:
NDBC_<WMO ID>_YYYYMM_D<DEPLOYMENT NUMBER>_history.txt

where <WMO ID> = 5-character alpha-numeric string, which the World
Meteorological Organization assigned, to identify C-MAN stations and moored
buoys; YYYYMM = numeric year and month that NDBC collected the data;
<DEPLOYMENT NUMBER> = unique number assigned to specific station
configuration, sequentially assigned by the NDBC database system (lower
number = older configuration and a higher number = a newer configuration);
<VERSION NUMBER> = two-digit number that NDBC uses to track their version of
the data, starting with 00; .nc = netCDF (version 4) file extension; and
.txt = ASCII/text file extension.

NODC accession number:         0082371
Version:                       2.2
Updated on:                    2012-03-16 13:16:24 UTC
By:                            Automated Ingest Agent

Version 2.2 -
  This version of this accession contains new data and metadata files.
  The new data files are in the netCDF-4 format with one file per buoy*
  and replace either F291 data in an ARCH file (see Case 1 below)  or
  an earlier version of a netCDF file (see Case 2 below).  In addition,
  there will is one history.txt for each buoy (see "information about
  processing of the data" in data/0-data/ below).  The about/ directory
  also contains updated metadata for this accession.

  *Buoys with ADCP data have an additional netCDF file.

  Case 1:
  ARCH files contain data from multiple buoys in a single file.  If new
  netCDF files were available for all buoys in an ARCH file, the ARCH file
  was removed in this version.  If netCDF files were available for a subset
  of the buoys in an ARCH file, this version contains the ARCH file and the
  replacement netCDF file(s).  Utilizing the data in a netCDF file will
  provide the user with the most accurate and complete data available.

  Case 2:
  When revised netCDF files are available for a specific buoy, they will
  be replaced in this accession and can be identified by the change in
  version number in the file name as well as being listed under
  "Changed files:" below.
